Robag Wruhme @ Box of Kittens
with DJs Hali, Jamie Kidd, Mike Gibbs, Fabio Palermo. Dec 26, Twist Gallery
Loved for their late-night warehouse vibes, Box of Kittens marks three years of parties with this licensed event held in a rarely used gallery space. Here, German producer and prankster Gabor Schablitzki (a.k.a. Robag Wruhme, pictured) joins the house-and-tech-spinning foursome. Known as half of the Wighnomy Brothers for 17 years, Wruhme parted professional ways with friend Sören Bodner (a.k.a. Monkey Maffia) and now tours solo. Wruhme was seen distancing himself from the Brothers in 2009 techno documentary Speaking in Code where his deep obsession with techno was also on display. This is his only Canadian date.
10pm. $20 before midnight, $25 after. 1100 Queen W (upstairs).
Have a look at this beautiful space here -->>>> TWIST Gallery (formally known as Spin Gallery)

Reviews?
Graham, when you said that he 'murdered it' last time he was here, it must've been the perfect choice of words because that's exactly what he did last night... Completely murdered it. _
I had so much fun dancing to some really meaty grooves. His set had such great momentum to it. Total quality. Robag delivers. Jamie also threw down some stormers. Just banging tunes with the scariest kicks ever! _
I thought the crowd was amazing too. Lots of friendly people, it was great to strike up a conversation and meet new people + catch up with others _
I think the only thing I can complain about is the bathroom situation. Lineups were pretty long most of the night.
I had a boatload of fun, can't wait for the next one!
Oh and one more thing... I loved the venue, and staff was friendly!
I had a fantastic time at my first BoK party.
Robag was just as I had been told he would be. Unexpected randomness. The music was so much fun from the moment I walked in the door to Jamie's banging tunes - the momentum when Robag came on just carried through the evening in his own special way. Michael Jackson just dropped into the set was a treat. The music was so fresh and it was good to hear something different in Toronto again. I would definately make the time to see him play again.
Fun Times!
The venue was such a nice change... Very open, no congestion (except trying to get in past the entrance of the Social, that was kind of chaotic), and the bathroom situation as Mikey mentioned previously.
I would love to hear Robag at Old Miami in Detroit.

Robag's last 40 minutes are what I had anticipated the most.. Damn.. Unfortunately the party was cut short at 3:30.. I would of loved another 2 hours or so from this guy. Wasn't expecting to hear False - Fed On Youth, but the way he layered it in with a more stripped down - down tempo track was an art form. Loved the venue! I hope BOK decides to throw some more jams here. Meow... haha @ the box of kittens lighting
Edit: Wow I must of been totally trashed because I just realized the tune was actually False - Fed On Youth! lol
fun night out!
i missed jamie kidd but came right in the midst of mike gibbs' laying down some dark (think liebing) techno in the last 15-20 min.
robag played a style of techno i haven't heard in toronto in a while (if ever?) and i thoroughly enjoyed his set. he would venture from melodic techno, to chunky/raw/stripped down techno, even some trippier psy-techno-trance. it was all pieced together well with his seemingless mixing. got to hear robag play his song Dopamin which was AWESOME!! those fat basslines remind me of Mr Oizo - Flatbeat.
this party was held at a near perfect venue. the art gallery had nice hardwood floor to dance on and was a great size for the # in attendance.
this would be the closest to a milkrun type party that i could describe it as (i've never attended one but assuming based on venue/atmosphere/organized/marketing?)
the soundsystem was awesome for a first time venue which means a lot of tweaking happened right before the show. i liked that. the percussion, highs were nice and really crisp sounding and the lows made the room give off a nice bellow
robag's fresh sleazy sound coupled with a a more adventurous/neat/unique venue change made my experience 100x more memorable.
looking forward to the next BoK event.
Thanks to BOK and everyone involved for putting on a great show once again.
The space was really nice, something a bit different and minimally decorated. Not my favourite BOK venue to date, but it was still a great space. Sound was more than sufficient and the room was a perfect size. As said earlier, the washroom situation was less than ideal, but thats what you get when your not using a typical venue, and thank god for that. The staff were really friendly as well and overall the vibe was typical BOK.
Walked in to Jamie laying down a solid opening set, and everyone starting to get well into it. Then Mike Gibbs came on and continued where Jamie left off. I've really enjoyed Mr. Gibbs everytime I've seen him, his track selection is truly top notch, hoping to catch more of him in 2011. Had a quick word with Robag who was excited to be back in Toronto and he really liked the space as well. His set was VERY good imo. It was far from the typical "cookie-cutter" sound that's become predominant as of late, and was full of creativity and flowed in and out of different sub-genres of techno. Towards the end things really picked up and he definitely brought his A-game. Probably the best set I've personally heard from Robag to date.
Shame that it ended so early, I'm sure Robag would have kept going but the gallery staff were pretty adamant about ending promptly. Fair enough.
Good times, good friends, what more could you ask for.
